ChatGPT and other AI models have been with us a while and learning (or keeping up) with them can feel daunting.
That’s why the latest workshops are tailored to meet you where you are—whether you’re new to AI or ready to advance. Check out the upcoming 3-6 days online workshop on the use of AI for evaluation, gender and research purposes.

Overview of online workshops

The virtual course is structured into two levels: an Introductory Level for those new to AI and an Advanced Level for participants looking to deepen their expertise.

You can choose to attend each level independently, selecting the one that best fits your current knowledge and goals. Alternatively, you can enroll in both levels and benefit from a 15% bundle discount on the total course fee.

Delivery

The online workshops are via Zoom and consist of live sessions with the facilitator and sessions of self-paced learning.
